Domestic Violence and Human Rights: Jessica Lenahan v. the United States of America
Did you know that police are not required to enforce an “official” order of protection? And when they do attempt to do so, the charges against the accused are usually dropped. Victims know this.

To this day, reparations have not been made to her or any other victims in spite of the international court’s judgement.
What can we do about that?
